Abstract | Flash memory endurance is limited by the tunnel oxide degradation after repeated P/E stressing in strong electric field. Thermal annealing should be able to repair the oxide damage but such theory cannot be tested in real time since completed device cannot endure high temperature > 400°C and long baking time is impractical for real time operation. In this work, we propose and demonstrate a novel self-healing Flash, where a locally high temperature (>800°C), short time (ms) annealing is generated by a built-in heater. By modifying the word line (WL) from a single-ended to a double-ended structure, the WL can carry a current to generate Joule heating; and the proximity of the gate can readily heat the tunnel oxide of the Flash device, annealing out the damage caused by P/E cycling. We discover that a BE-SONOS charge-trapping NAND Flash device can be quickly annealed within a few milliseconds. With this novel technique, we demonstrate a record-high endurance of >100M $(10^{8})$ P/E cycles with excellent post-100M-cycle retention. Interestingly, the WL heater can be used to achieve faster erasing although normally FN tunneling should be temperature-independent. At the extreme temperature achieved in our heating-while-erasing experiments electron de-trapping from the charge trapping nitride, accompanying hole FN tunneling, also occurs, resulting in faster erasing. Finally, a novel design architecture for implementing the self-healing Flash memory is proposed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
